Public Water System Supervision Program Revision for the State of 
Oklahoma

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice of tentative approval.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: Notice is hereby given that the State of Oklahoma is revising 
its approved Public Water System Supervision (PWSS) program. Oklahoma 
has adopted the Revised Total Coliform Rule (RTCR) by reference under 
Title 252 Chapter 631 Subchapters 1-3 of the Oklahoma Administrative 
Code Pertaining to the Oklahoma Department of Environmental Quality 
Pubic Water Supply Operation. EPA has reviewed and approved the RTCR 
primacy application submitted by Oklahoma. Therefore, EPA intends to 
approve this PWSS program revision package, which gives the Oklahoma 
Department of Environmental Quality primary enforcement responsibility 
for implementing the Revised Total Coliform Rule for all public water 
systems regulated by the state.

DATES: All interested parties may request a public hearing. A request 
for a public hearing must be submitted by December 2, 2015 to the 
Regional Administrator at the EPA Region 6 address shown below. 
Frivolous or insubstantial requests for a hearing may be denied by the 
Regional Administrator. However, if a substantial request for a public 
hearing is made by December 2, 2015, a public hearing will be held. If 
no timely and appropriate request for a hearing is received and the 
Regional Administrator does not elect to hold a hearing on his own 
motion, this determination shall become final and effective on December 
2, 2015. Any request for a public hearing shall include the following 
information: The name, address, and telephone number of the individual, 
organization, or other entity requesting a hearing; a brief statement 
of the requesting person's interest in the Regional Administrator's 
determination and a brief statement of the information that the 
requesting person intends to submit at such hearing; and the signature 
of the individual making the request, or, if the request is made on 
behalf of an organization or other entity, the signature of a 
responsible official of the organization or other entity.
